PROMOTED: Kaduna, Arla Foods scale up commitment to develop a sustainable dairy sector
L-R: Deputy Governor of Kaduna State, Dr. Hadiza Balarabe; the Governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, the Vice President , Arla Foods, Steen Hadsbjerg and Ambassador of Denmark to Nigeria, Jesper Kamp, during the MoU Signing on Partnership between Arla Foods and Kaduna State Government on the Development of Local Dairy Value Chain in Kaduna on Monday.
Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai welcomes the project with Arla as a different and sustainable vision for the development of the livestock industry in Nigeria: “We are very pleased to collaborate with Arla Foods to grow and further improve our nation’s dairy industry. With our different competencies, together we can empower local farmers and promote a market-driven sustainable dairy development in Nigeria”.
That collaboration works on a five-year project called the Milky Way Partnership to develop a socially, environmentally and economically sustainable dairy value chain. The partnership and project have demonstrated a viable scalable business model that has created both an increase in income and job opportunities for local farmers and employees in the dairy sector.
“Previously, the cows were drinking from the ponds. Now, they have fresh water and are well-fed. You can tell from their skin that they look healthy. We are very happy, and we are already starting to see the results as the milk quantity has almost doubled,” says Alhaji Sani Aliyu, one of the dairy farmers at Amana Dairy Cooperative.“Developing Nigeria’s agriculture sector will be an important pillar for the country’s growth and the private-public partnership is a strong model to drive this.
Arla will contribute with experience from its pan-European supply chain and its cooperative farmer culture to deliver commercial success with the farmers in Nigeria.
